INGREDIENTS (Nutrition)

  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 2 cloves garlic, crushed

  • 3 cups canned diced tomatoes with their juice
  • 1 tablespoon chopped fresh chives

DIRECTIONS

  1. Heat oil in a large saucepan over medium heat. Add garlic; cook and stir until fragrant, about 2 minutes. Reduce heat if garlic begins to brown. Add green beans, then continue to cook and stir until bright green but not quite tender, about 4 minutes.
